1 SAFETY DATA SHEET 1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE SUBSTANCE/PREPARATION AND OF THE COMPANY/UNDERTAKING Identification of the substance/preparation UltraLube White Lithium Grease # ,10308,10309,10310,10311 Use of the substance/preparation Lubricating Grease. Version No. 02 Revision date 17-September-2012 CAS No. Mixture Supplie Manufacturer Address Plews & Edleman 1550 Franklin Grove Road Dixon, IL Environmental Lubricants Manufacturing, Inc. 311 B Ave -Grundy Center, IA SDS Questions: (319) Emergency telephone: CHEMTREC: (800) HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION This preparation is not classified as dangerous according to Directive 1999/45/EC and its amendments. Physical hazards Health hazards Not classified as a physical hazard. Not Classified as a health hazard. Environmental hazards Not Toxic-Not classified as an environmental hazard. Specific hazards Main symptoms May form vapors or oil mists during mechanical action or at elevated temperatures which may be irritating to the respiratory tract. Excessive inhalation of oil mist may affect respiratory system. Dermatitis after prolonged exposure. Prolonged or repeated contact with skin may cause redness, itching, irritation, eczema/chapping and oil acne. Irritant effects. Irritation of eyes and mucous membranes. 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Components CAS-No. % EC-No. / REACH Notes Classification Registration No. Vegetable Oil Severely Hydrotreated Naphthenic Oil 2-tert-butyl-hydroquinone < Composition comments The full text for all R-phrases is displayed in Section 16. All concentrations are in percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent by volume. 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES Inhalation Skin contact Eye contact Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. Remove contaminated clothes and rinse skin thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. In case of rashes, wounds or other skin disorders: Seek medical attention and bring along these instructions. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove any contact lenses

2 and open eyes wide apart. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Ingestion Most important symptoms and Effects General advice Notes to physician Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues. Symptoms include itching, burning, redness, and tearing of eyes. Get medical attention if any discomfort develops. Treat symptomatically. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons Unusual fire & explosion Hazards Specific hazards Special protective equipment for fire-fighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide. Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. None known Thermal decomposition may produce smoke, oxides of carbon and lower molecular weight organic compounds whose composition have not been characterised. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Selection of respiratory protection for fire fighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods for cleaning up When working with heated grease, mechanical ventilation may be required. Remove sources of ignition. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. For personal protection, see Section 8. In case of spills, beware of slippery floors and surfaces. Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Collect and dispose of spillage as indicated in Section 13. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to drain/aquatic environment. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Small Spills: Absorb spillage with oil-absorbing material. Large Spills: Absorb spilled substance with sand or earth. Handling Storage Handle and open container with care. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with grease, particularly used grease. Always remove grease with soap and water or skin cleaning agent, never use organic solvents. Use work methods which minimise production of vapours and mists. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Store in a cool and well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Occupational exposure limits Exposure controls Occupational exposure controls Respiratory protection No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s). Provide adequate ventilation. When working with heated oil, mechanical ventilation may be required. Provide access to washing facilities including soap, skin cleanser and fatty cream. In case of inadequate ventilation or risk of inhalation of dust, use suitable respiratory equipment with particle filter (type P2). Seek advice from local supervisor.

3 Hand protection Eye protection Wear protective gloves. Nitrile gloves are recommended. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier. If risk of splashing, wear safety goggles or face shield. Skin and body protection Wear suitable protective clothing. Frequent change of gloves is advisable. General Environmental exposure Controls Hygiene measures Use personal protective equipment as required. Personal protective equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment. Contain spills and prevent releases and observe national regulations on emissions. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Wash hands after handling. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Physical state Form Colour Odour Odour threshold ph Boiling point Flash point Flammability Grease.
